About this property

MONKTON LIBRARY COTTAGE

This Monkton, Vermont library cottage was once home to adventures, fairy tales, comics, mysteries and fiction. It has recently been transformed into a welcoming space for travelers to call their home away from home. Very centrally located between Burlington and Middlebury, within walking distance to the new Monkton Town Library and Chocolate Store. Enjoy breathtaking sunrises over Camel's Hump and sunsets over the Adirondacks. Within a short drive, 15 mins. to local restaurants, hikes, fishing, rivers, skiing (Middlebury Snow Bowl, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, and Bolton Valley), and mountain biking. We are eco-friendly and are mindful of our carbon footprint that we will leave behind.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The Monkton Library Cottage was appointed and located perfectly for our 3 week stay while visiting younger family members nearby. We were able to cook simple meals and had our own space to relax in peace. The grocery store and laundromat in nearby Hinesburg was easy to find and use. Our host, Nina, was available and very responsive. We'd stay at the Monkton Library Cottage again without hesitation.

Clean and comfy. Great communication with owner. FYI the bed linens for the pullout sofa were hard to find. (They're in the brown crates that act as side tables.)

This cozy cottage was the perfect getaway for us. The kitchen was well-stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils for cooking our own meals. Everything is very new and in great condition, and the A/C worked well in the July heat. The location is perfect for enjoying nature, while still being a short drive from Burlington and lots of great food and drink options.

The cottage is like staying in a home, not a typical rental. Comfortable furniture, bed and pillows, good linens and towels, and the most well-supplied kitchen I have seen in a rental. Everything is clean and maintained. Though just off a busy road, it is quiet in the house. Well-located for visiting nearby towns. Food not far away. I felt safe and enjoyed my stay.

Thanksgiving Getaway

We loved staying at this cottage! Perfect for the two of us, while we visited our daughter who couldn’t come home for her Thanksgiving break from UVM. The furnishings, and decor were perfect and we were able to come back at the end of the day to a warm and cozy place!! We will definitely return!

private and charming

We had a flat tire our first morning at the cottage and several locals were very helpful in guiding us to where to get it repaired. The property manager was very responsive to questions. The cottage was very attractively decorated, the bed and sofa were very comfortable and the heating system worked very quickly.

Such a lovely stay!

My husband and I stayed here when visiting Vermont for our anniversary. We absolutely loved the cottage! It had everything we needed and it was so cozy. It was just a short drive away from Burlington and Stowe. Our host, Nina, was easy to communicate with and responsed to our questions quickly. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Vermont. We can't wait!
